At the time of death, the deceased was 30 years old and was employed as a supervisor in a private company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The 2 claim petitions were instituted before the trial court, seeking compensation. The trial court ordered compensation of Rs 9,97,500 in favour of the deceased appellant while the other appellant was awarded compensation of Rs 3,94,650.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Aggrieved by the awards, the appellants as well as the Insurance Company preferred 4 separate appeals under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001569576\" target=\"_blank\">173(1)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726964\" target=\"_blank\">Motor Vehicle Act, 1988<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Issues for determination<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p>Whether the appellants were entitled to enhance compensation?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Was the Insurance Company liable to pay the amount?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that at the time of accident, the deceased was 30 years old and unmarried; accordingly, 50 per cent deduction was applied. Following <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Sarla Verma<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">DTC<\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><\/span>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/586fAY60\" target=\"_blank\">(2009) 6 SCC 121<\/a> and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">National Insurance Co. Ltd.<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pranay Sethi<\/span>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002833905\" target=\"_blank\">(2017) 16 SCC 680<\/a>, the Court applied an appropriate multiplier of 17. Considering the deceased was employed in a private firm, future prospects were added at 40 per cent. Compensation for loss of consortium, which was not awarded earlier, was fixed at Rs 80,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">With respect to the deceased&#8217;s income, the salary slip established the employment details and a net salary of Rs 8443. The Court further noted the Motor Vehicle Accident Report dated 6 June 2013 contained details of the involvement of 2 vehicles, which matched the description of the vehicles involved in the present case. Further, the Court stated that once the report of the police authorities which is on record which shows a collision and the owner of the offending vehicle gives evidence to state that there was no rash and negligent driving on his behalf, it would clearly mean the vehicle was involved in the accident. Thus, the Court did not accept the Insurance Company&#8217;s submissions that the vehicle was not involved in the accident.<\/p>\n<h3>Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, the Court enhanced compensation of the deceased to Rs 14,34,500 and granted Rs 4,59,450 to the injured appellant, along with an interest rate of 6 per cent p.a. from the date of petition to the date of realisation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Boopalan J.<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Orien Precast (P) Ltd<\/span>., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9003465109\" target=\"_blank\">2026 SCC OnLine Kar 2988<\/a>, decided on 6-1-2026<\/span>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; text-indent: 18pt; border: 2px solid black; border-radius: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-color: #DCDCDC;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">*Judgment authored by Justice Tara Vitasta Ganju<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Advocates who appeared in this case:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; text-underline-style: solid; text-underline-mode: continuous;\">In MFA No. 5416 of 2019 and 845 of 2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">For the Appellants:<\/span> Prakash.M.H., Advocate<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 18pt; margin-bottom: 2%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">For the Respondents:<\/span> Lokesh Malavalli; C.
